Nature 362, 623-628 (1993) IT has been brought to our attention by Ben Creisler that the genus name Mononychus used to refer to a new flightless Cretaceous bird in our letter to Nature is preoccupied by the coleopteran Mononychus Schueppel 1824 (ref. 1). We therefore propose the replacement Mononykus for this genus whose type species is Mononykus olecranus.
